The Benefits Of Being A High School NARP
The Odyssey Online

For those of you who may be unaware, a "NARP," or non-athletic regular person, defines those people in school who don't participate in any after school sports. They never tried out for teams and they were most likely the last person you selected to be on your kickball team in gym class. To be frank, NARPs lived a life of pure luxury from all standpoints.

NARP Time Benefits

NARPs were notorious for going home immediately after school at 2:30 p.m. and complaining if they had to stay one minute after the dismissal bell to go to study hours or ask their teacher a question. They would rather sprint to their Honda Civic out in the parking lot to be the first one out of the school driveway than wait three seconds to tie their shoe or say hi to their freshman year English teacher. NARPs are all about pretending they have no time when, in fact, we all know they have plenty of time.

NARP Food Benefits

NARPs always had their coffee in the morning and wouldn't dare to forget to pack their lunch the night before. Considering they have no after school activities, NARPs take their lavish time selecting what snacks they desire and can cut their sandwiches into triangles while filling Tupperware with various salads. Something you will never see in a NARP lunch is a PB&J in a plastic bag.

NARP Nap Benefits

NARPs are done with school by 2:30 p.m. and asleep by 2:50 p.m. They saunter in the door, hang their narpy backpack on the hook in their laundry room, and eat a nice snack before sauntering upstairs into their sheets for a 30-minute nap before beginning their homework.

NARP Homework Benefits

This will always be the #1 aspect NARPs benefit from. From essentially 3 p.m.-10 p.m., ample amounts of homework and studying can be completed. Also, since no physical activity was completed after classes and a nap was completed, there really is no excuse for the NARPs to not complete their assignments.


But, just as remember, unless you get recruited to a university for a sport, every human around you is a NARP! So, as time progresses, the playing field is leveled out and everyone gets that time to take a nap and indulge in a snack after classes.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
